Dear lovely friends,
It's Monday. First of all, thanks for getting the blog juices running, Shef. As a girl who needs to find some people to train with, I appreciate the "oh I'm in a different time zone, but doing it too!" commraderie. I enjoyed the "easy" week of training last week, especially with allergies and a bit of a cold. Yuck. But it looks like this coming weekend might be a kicker...oh yeah! I've been doing well staying on track with the training program, although I often have to switch days around or take my rest day later in the week because life just gets busy...and now with wedding season fast approaching, I'll really have to be on top of planning it all out far in advance to make sure I can get it all in!
Now Miss Catherine just did a marathon at the beginning of March and a half marathon yesterday?? Haha, beast! Good for you, Eastman! The weather is getting nice out here in MN so it's getting more enjoyable to do the longer runs and rides these days. Now if only it would get hot and I could swim outside...ahh, not much better than that!!!
So my life as an inspiring Ironwoman. Pretty uneventful. Jake came for a ride with me last weekend and it was WINDY as heck, but he said since he is the Man in the relationship, he's going to... draft behind me the entire time. He said, "I'm not above that...you're the ironwoman after all."
Nutrition: Yikes, I better get that article. TODAY I'm starting a healthier diet. People at work brought in all these jelly beans. I eat them by the handfull...and then there was a "buy one gallon, get one free" of ice cream...well we know where that went. Anyway, I need to be better about overall nutrition AND get the scoop on what to eat/how much for the race. Any tips you remember, Shef, yell them on out!
Hope you all have a great week and would love to see you soon!

Hi guys! So nobody has posted yet this week... so I figured I would try and get some things going, all I can do is comment tho, can't post. How did last week go for everybody? I know my body let me know that it was shocked with the first "hard" week of training. I have decided that a weekly incentive is necessary to encourage me to make all of my workouts. I have set a goal that as long as I make every workout, I get to go to TCBY on Thursday night (as Friday is my off day with the way Shef and I have worked our schedule). It's funny yesterday I caught myself complaining to Taylor (my fiance) that I didn't want to swim and he reminded me of TCBY thursday, and that if I didn't go, that meant no ice cream. It's amazing what I can get myself to do for ice cream!
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd throw that out there that weekly incentives definitely do help!!!
Have a great day everybody!
